The Fatabase

The Vancouver Sun has posted an extensive database listing the nutritional content of the various meals served by more than 80 restaurant chains operating in British Columbia Canada.  

For each meal the database provides the calories, grams of fat, grams of trans fat, mg of sodium, grams of carbs, and grams of sugars.  Want more?  Click on DETAILS beside each item and you can get additional info on fibre, protein, calcium, and more.

This is a great resource for those attempting to lose weight, and for those providing health services to them.  

Don't live in BC?  Most of the chains are national or international, so the information is likely to be of use to almost anyone - certainly in North America.
